Yeah I wish, no both the wife and I had it handed to us by Adam, this was our first real ride in 5-6 years since before the kids came along. I have only done about 500 freeway km on the bike, and the last time the wife was on a bike she was riding a 250cc.

I want to do some motor bike school days next month and hope to step it up next time Im out.

Well since it wasn't my bike I tried to keep the front wheel mostly on the ground but holy crap those things go fast. I'll never stop loving thrashing the Skyline around a track but there is something to be said for hanging off the side of an engine on wheels, your face 50cm from the ground and your knee and elbow closer, while you scream around a corner.

My postie was no slouch either, keeping up with a mate on his R1 around the twisties only to see him disappear into the distance every time we hit the straight.

Pics of said postie:

Hey Adam, its Ramses.

How you been? Looks like your still riding a fair bit. Let me know the next time you go on a track day and hopefully i can make it. Weather looks good these days so let me know if your going on a cruise.

I spend too much time in the s15 now and i'm neglecting the bike. :P

Yeap the GP at oran, it was really good fun, and better then I originally thought it would be. It was cheap as well, $150 on a weekend BUT there were 160 bikes, no way we could ever put 40 cars on at once. It was really good after lunch once the numbers thinned out a little.

Hey mate, very good. I lost your number. Don't forget oroads. :D

yeah ive had my fair share of track days with my ex race bike (aprilia rs250) & an assortment of past 1000cc road bikes (r1, zx10r, gixxer) - get on eastern creek much better track as it used to be on the old 500cc calendar.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
